Ashot Manucharyan: The "Georgian dream"'s coming to the power will be marked by sharp warming up of relations with Russia

The coming of the "Georgian dream" to the power will be marked by sharp warming up of relations between Georgia and Russia, Armenian first president's adviser, Ashot Manucharyan, told Arminfo correspondent when commenting on the preliminary results of the parliamentary election in Georgia.

"In general, the Russian-Georgian relations will not remain at the present bad level, although they will have no fundamental transformation. As I can suppose stemming from Bidzina Ivanishvili's statements, these changes will first of all touch on the sphere of communications which are of the geo-political significance for the whole region including Armenia", - Manucharyan said.

He especially emphasized that thanks to the power changing in Georgia, the unclear situation with the former Georgian regions Abkhazia and South Ossetia will be finally overcome. He hopes that if Ivanishvili comes to power, these peoples will be given an opportunity to independently decide how to build their
destiny within Georgia or outside it.

By preliminary data based on 15.35% of total votes, the two leaders in the parliamentary elections in Georgia are Georgian Dream - 52.77% of votes and the ruling party United national Movement - 42.08%.  The other parties have not yet overcome the 5% threshold to the parliament.  The elections are especially interesting as after the presidential election in 2013 in Georgia the political and public system in the country will change and the parliament and the government will receive much more powers.
